Go Floats Review {Summer Must Haves} #gofloats

Thursday, August 16, 2018

Whenever I play in the swimming pool with my kids, we all consider awesome pool floats as must-have items. We each have several different floats; there are food styles, camo, solid colors, and now a flamingo. Go Floats was nice enough to send me the Inflatable Flamingo Party Tube to review, which was a win for me and my girls as well.

The GoFloats Flamingo Party Tube ($12.59) was designed to provide a fun and functional inner tube for pools, lakes, rivers or even the ocean. We use premium grade raft material combined with a fun design to ensure you are floating in style. The raft is designed to hold adults, but can be used for all swimmers ages 12 +. The raft can be inflated using our premium quick-inflate valve by a pump (1 minute) or by mouth (10 minutes). Many other giant rafts only include the traditional style inflation valve which takes 10 minutes even if you have a pump. The raft is a must have for any pool, lake, river or ocean.

The weather hasn’t been the best for swimming lately, but luckily, we were able to try the flamingo party tube out a couple of times. Unfortunately, the weather has been pretty chilly at night and we have had a lot of rain (I keep having to remind myself that this is a good thing). However, the times we did get to try the party tube out I was very impressed with its quality. The size of the float is amazing for my teenage daughter or myself with my 4 year old with me. The color is vibrant and the details of the flamingo are very nice.

There is a very innovative rapid valve, which is designed to inflate as well as deflate very quickly. It has two different flaps that close into each other. The fill valve allows air to enter the float, but it cannot escape. This isn’t like most valves where you have to squeeze it or bite the valve. Either a foot pump or an air compressor set to low would be a good recommendation. Be prepared, although a far more comfortable experience than other inflatables, this thing requires A LOT of air to inflate. Of course, it is nowhere near as bad as an air mattress. The quality of the material used is very thick and durable. Differently not like the basic floats you pick up in the store to only get maybe a couple uses out of. This is the most durable float I have ever owned and keeps its air with ease. It is more of a canvas feel than plastic.

I personally really like the headrest, this is a nice added touch. I can simply float around on my pink flamingo and rest my head while my kids are playing in the pool. As you can see, my daughter loves to play with the Go Floats flamingo party float even when she isn’t in the pool. She still has it inflated “sleeping” (or nesting?) in my garage. The girls in my family are loving our new float.
